It was her grand debut at the Olympic Games on Friday on the Whistler track. However, after the two slalom runs, Nastasia Noens did not manage to create a surprise. Being too imprecise on the upper part of the course during the first run, she made some mistakes that cost her precious tenths of a second. These are mistakes that the Olympic level does not forgive: the athlete from Nice placed only 36th on the first course. A position that did not allow her to start in the top 30 for the second run.
a promising start to the season
Starting well after the favorites in the second run, it was eventually with the 29th final time that the slalom skier finished the competition. It was a disappointment for Nastasia, but it should not overshadow a promising start to the season for this young champion. At only 21 years old, she remains in the race for an honorable position in the World Cup slalom ranking, which is her goal for the season. Noteworthy is Sandrine Aubert’s impressive 5th place finish.
